Agreed.
My previous post suggested cross-drilled rotors from a reputable source can handle abuse in professional motorsport: SWC GT and Touring Car, and Grand-Am GS.

I bought a cross-drilled rotor set from IROTORS at E-Bay for my 91. See http://www.irotors.com/storefrontprofiles/deluxeSFshop.aspx?NSX&sfid=149795&c=140865. They can do plain, drilled and/or slotted as well as different coating options. If you decide to order from them make sure to ask for BREMBO or BRADI blanks only. Mine came with BRADI stamped on all rotros FYI. I've used them on the street with Project Mu Street pads for over a year and no issues. If I can remember correctly, my set was approx. $300.

I've used EBC on several motorcycles and sportbikes with no problem. Then again, I didn't give 2 cents about brake dust, it was about all out pure performance.
Too bad prime sucks at 3 letter search.

I'm talking about the EBC Rotors... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/EBC-...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

They don't have Wearever in my autozone... they have these:

Duralast gold 36.99
Duralast gold cmax 54.99
Same thing? Different?
I just got a set of rear pads for $76 from Acura of Augusta. That's cheap enough in my book and why would you need to go any cheaper.
OMG... it never seems to end! These almost look perfect... they appear to be powder coated and they're slotted. The coating will prevent rust... http://buybrakes.amazonwebstore.com...froogle&utm_medium=organic&utm_source=froogle
It's not "cheap" that I'm looking for... it's a good combo pad that will do what I want. Everyone is just saying that the el-cheapo pads perform BETTER than the more expensive OEM pads. So that seems like a no-brainer.
Ahhh....That's what I get for not reading the entire thread. I've used a lot of different pads over the years for street and track. The best pads that I ever used were from RM racing but they're no longer in business. I've used Hawks, Carbotech, Cobalt, Axxis, you name I've used it. I've also used many different rotors such as: Brembo, Powerslot, OEM, and a cryo trated rotor form Australia (I forgot the name). I've always managed to warp every set of rotors after one day at the track and I know why. The reason is because the NSX doesn't have good air flow to cool the front brakes. I believe that with a good cooling duct you can use OEM all day on track. It also depends on which track you are going to frequent. I used to attend HPDE's at Sebring and that track is brutal on brakes due to the long straights.
Performance Friction's 01 pad compound is a great track pad.
Buy rotors from a reputable brand. I havn't heard of the performance, results, or durability of EBC rotors. Their's not a lot of info out on them (dosn't necessarily mean they are bad though).

Well, it turns out that the Tire Rack DOES indeed have slotted rotors for the car. And that's just what I ordered: http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brak...del=NSX&autoYear=1991&autoModClar=&perfCode=S
Gonna mate them to the Wearever Gold pads that Captain suggested and get back on the road again. Thanks to all for the advice!

Just curious Captain, did you run the el-cheapo pads after you did your brake-duct mod or before?
Dan, you also might want to take a look at the Project Mu Type-NS for a street pad. They are about $75 per axle and will out-perform OEM in terms of bite and fade resistance. Plus, they are low dust and noise. Clearly still a street pad, but with a performance bump over OEM for a lot less $.

Ok, where? I googled it and found nothing.
I know Dali Racing sells them, and I think there are a few vendors here on Prime that sell Project Mu stuff. I did a quick google and found: http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/project-mu-ns-front-brake-pad-acura-nsx-9105-p-4583.html

Yea, after digging a lil bit I found a few places that sells them. But the only places that seem to sell them are in CA or AZ. I need them by thursday. Know of anyone on the east coast that sells them?

Really? Huh, I was just talking to them last weekend. I'll talk to them about changing that. Have any left over used pads they can use to cut the dimensions?Shame they don't make a NSX F/R pad.
The make a Front only Carbon Metallic.
ohhhh do I have some left over used pads. :biggrin: Hey, see if I ship a set of front and rear to them if I can have a gratis set for the effort and shipping. :wink: I can ship out this week as I actually have a set already boxed up.

Save money and just get a Brembo blank (like CL65 Captain said).
Thanks, but I already ordered these: http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...ar=&perfCode=S
